Quiet day at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine
Paula Gooder : Study and Reflection day ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is like ..?
2nd September 2026, 10:15 – 16:00
The Kingdom of Heaven is like…? Reading the Parables with fresh eyes.
The parables are, arguably, the most characteristic of Jesus’ teaching. During this day we will spend time with some well loved (and some much well-known) of Jesus’ parables asking how they can speak to us afresh today.
We are thrilled to welcome Paula to lead another popular Study Reflective day with us.
